August is here and there are SO MANY incredible events taking place!

Here are just a few to write about and celebrate:

*National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day on August 4

*International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples on August 9

*Paris Olympics until August 11

*National Science Week from August 10 to 18

*Children’s Book Council of the Year Book Week from August 17 to 25

AND it’s *National Poetry Month

So there’s no excuse this month not to have a reason to put pen to paper and wax lyrical about something wonderful that’s on this month!
