Teachers and parents were excitedly pulled over  to view these works of art and for many of the children this was one of the greatest days of their life. The honour of  their drawings and stories appearing on the walls of an exhibition, telling their own story about their  Donegal.
A scribble wall at the event gave the children the opportunity to say how they were feeling about their new found fame, one little girl posted "I love today because my story was on the wall" another said "I never had my picture in a book before".
