Hannah received a scarf from Gitl for her birthday. Her initial reaction is to correct Gitl and tell her that her birthday is in February.

Gitl handed the scarf to Hannah. "To replace the blue ribbons," she said softly.

Hannah shook her head. "My birthday is ... is in the winter. In ... in February." The word sat strangely on her mouth.
