Jazz is a girl caught in a boy's body and she tells her story without preaching. Clear and straightforward yet breezy and fun, this book tells the story of a transgender child. I am Jazz by Jessica Herthel and Jazz is what all "special issues" books should be. Jazz's story is based on her real-life experience and she tells it in a simple, clear way that will be appreciated by picture book readers, their parents, and teachers. This confused her family, until they took her to a doctor who said that Jazz was transgender and that she was born that way. She loved pink and dressing up as a mermaid and didn't feel like herself in boys' clothing. I found it deeply moving in its simplicity and honesty."-Laverne Cox (who plays Sophia in "Orange Is the New Black")įrom the time she was two years old, Jazz knew that she had a girl's brain in a boy's body. ![]() I wish I had had a book like this when I was a kid struggling with gender identity questions.

This also translated into their romance which based on how fast everything happened was pretty unbelievable. ![]() I couldn’t create any bond with Carter or Austin because the missing development made it so that I didn’t really feel like I knew them. Which brings me to the lack of connection with the characters. There was never time for anything to develop or for the reader to witness the development if there was any. The pacing was stilted and nearly every chapter in the first half of the book had a time jump of days, weeks or even months. If I understood correctly the book takes place over a 3-year time span and this may seem ok but in this case, it was severely lacking in development. My second issue was with the pacing which was probably my least favorite part. ![]() ![]() First, it became apparent early on that the dialogue between the characters was choppy and while sometimes that is easy to overlook when it is constantly present it becomes harder to ignore.

I remember my husband saying when I got the first rejection letter, ‘you didn’t think it would be that easy, did you?’īy then I’d taken every class I could on writing, read every book I could find on writing, and wrote every night. It took me two years to write the first book, and I was surprised when no one wanted it. Most of the time I was standing still and the publishing world was buying out one another.
