I Am Jazz

Story of a transgender girl. Very good and uplifting!

I'm so happy that this book exists.

Don't love that Jazz was kinda whitewashed.

This book is on the banned book list this year! Every year I celebrate banned book week by reading a book off the yearly list. At our library we like to have the freedom to read! I thought this book was well spoken and tackled perhaps a confusing subject for kids, very nicely and respectfully. I didn't particularly like the stereotypical society “boy stuff” and “girl stuff” bits, though I felt it still was a good introduction. ~Ashley

It was nicely illustrated, but after reading some reviews it sounds like they have whitewashed Jazz. I could understand if they based a character off of her, but it is literally about her?
