Today I have the great honor of reading again along with my colleague, Angie Craig, ``I Am Jazz.'' It is a book about a transsexual young boy who becomes a young girl. ``I am Jazz. ``For as long as I can remember, my favorite color has been pink. My second-favorite color is silver and my third favorite color is green. ``Here are some of my other favorite things: dancing, singing, back flips, drawing, soccer, swimming, makeup, and pretending I'm a pop star. ``Most of all, I love mermaids. Sometimes I even wear a mermaid tail in the pool. ``My best friends are Samantha and Casey. We always have fun together. We like high heels and princess gowns, or cartwheels and trampolines. ``But I am not exactly like Samantha and Casey. ``I have a girl brain but a boy body. This is called transgender. I was born this way.'' ____________________
