Jane Ng Ai Wen, 7

A year has 12 months but is there one month that is more dear to you than the others? Some people think their birthday month is special as they get to throw a party and celebrate with friends and relatives.

A month usually has 30 or 31 days. But February is a special month where there are 28 days, except for once in every four years, it has one extra day: the 29th. This extra day is called leap day.
