GRAFTON, Mass. - Preschool and kindergarten students recently welcomed children’s author Terry Golson and her Red Sussex hen, Agatha, to North Grafton Elementary School.  

Golson read her story, "Tillie Lays an Egg," to preschool and kindergarten students. This story chronicles a day in the life of a sweet, independent hen.

Golson  and her chickens live on Little Pond Farm in Carlisle. During the visit, Golson shared many interesting and funny facts about chickens.
