Your guide to celebrating September 2 2012
Skip to all 8 daysSeptember 2 brings 10 observances, led by World Coconut Day, with National Spalding Baseball Day and Indigenous Literacy Day setting up a day of tropical food, fresh air, and a thoughtful read.
Build a coconut breakfast
Start with a bowl that puts coconut to work rather than treating it as garnish: stir canned coconut milk into overnight oats, then add banana and toasted coconut flakes. If breakfast is already handled, pick up fresh coconut water or use unsweetened shredded coconut in a quick batch of granola. Save the remaining coconut milk for dinner, where it makes a simple 25-minute chickpea curry with jarred curry paste and a bag of spinach. Buy canned milk rather than a sweetened drink carton for a richer sauce.
Make the afternoon a ballgame
Put a baseball, two gloves, and a bottle of water in the car, then claim a patch of grass for a low-pressure game. Two people can play catch, practice grounders, or set three objects down as bases and run a few innings. No field nearby? Watch a game at home and make it feel like an occasion with peanuts, sliced fruit, and a scorecard drawn on notebook paper.

Set aside reading time
Choose a book, poem, essay, or short story by an Indigenous author for a quiet hour on the porch or under a lamp. Your public library’s digital catalog is a practical place to start, and a bookstore can point you toward its Indigenous authors shelf. For Indigenous Literacy Day, read a chapter without turning it into an assignment. Note one line that stays with you, then share the title with a friend who would enjoy it.
Indigenous Literacy Day
Indigenous Literacy Day is a vibrant celebration that honors the rich stories, cultures, and languages of First Nations peoples. It raises awareness about the literacy challenges faced by remote Indigenous communities. Many children in these areas lack access to quality books and learning resources. By spotlighting these issues, the day…

Close with a little context
If you want one final, quieter stop, spend ten minutes with the page for National V-J Day. Then make the coconut curry, put on a pot of rice, and let the reading and ballgame be enough for one late-summer day.
