Every few months I like to put together a roundup of fun holidays coming up on the calendar. Some are meaningful, some are quirky, and some are simply great excuses to celebrate. This month’s list includes everything from Donut Day and World Giraffe Day to Juneteenth and the Summer Solstice. My favorite has to be Meteor Watch Day. Any excuse to look up at the stars feels like a good one.
It’s also the perfect holiday for Ruby Diamond, the star of my children’s fantasy novel A Streak of Light. If your kids love fantasy, space, and magical adventures, buy the book here.
