Do we celebrate the birthdays of fictional characters here at PanemPropaganda? You better believe it! Happy Birthday to Katniss Everdeen, our Girl on Fire!
How do we know that May 8th is Katniss' birthday, you ask? Suzanne Collins told us:
I kept telling myself if I could only hold out until May, just May 8th, I would turn twelve and be able to sign up for the tesserae and get that precious grain and oil to feed us.
- The Hunger Games, Chapter 2
On May 8th, I went to the Juctice Building, signed up for my tesserae, and pulled home my first batch of grain and oil in Prim's toy wagon.

So go eat some lamb stew, pick a dandelion in the Spring, be a rebel and a hero, save your sister and celebrate Katniss Everdeen today!
