Laurel Hill Farm Author and Nugget Visit Macon East Students

Macon East students were treated to a visit from children’s book author, Blaire Carter Graham. Blaire shared her book called Nugget’s Prayer with the students and even brought Nugget along for lots of love. Blaire lives on Laurel Hill Farm in Shorter, Alabama and has lots of animals where she draws her inspiration for her books. Blaire aims to inspire young and old readers to be strong and confident about who they are and where they are from. She also wants readers to know the importance of friends and family. One bible verse she holds close to her heart is Joshua 1:9 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
