Day 4: The Garden of Eden

My favorite and most formative book of my teen years. I read this over and over. I pinned my hair up then cut it short to be more like Catherine.

It wasn't until years later that I could give words to what resonated with me: I was gender queer.

Day 3: Island of the Blue Dolphins

In fifth or seventh grade I baked a dolphin-shaped cake and frosted it in blue, making a map of the island on the cake for a diorama project. It was horrendous, but I did it by myself and I was quite proud.
