Léaráid le Olivia Golden as An Dragan Feasa 

Déanann Cois Life comhghairdeas le Olivia Golden a roghnaíodh i measc na n-ealaíontóirí  le haghaidh Pictiúr -  taispeántas de shaothair ealaíne le leabhair do pháistí a mhaisiú atá ar siúl ó 14 Samhain 2013 go dtí 12 Eanáir 2014 i Músaem Nua-Ealaíne na hÉireann, Cill Mhaighneann (IMMA). Tá saothar de chuid Olivia as an leabhar An Dragan Feasa a scríobh Rhiannon Watson ar taispeáint mar chuid de Pictiúr. Is féidir tuilleadh a léamh faoi léaráidí Olivia i gcomhair an leabhair seo anseo agus is féidir an leabhar a cheannach anseo. Is í Laureate na nÓg, Niamh Sharkey a thiomsaigh an taispeántas  agus tá sé tar éis bheith ar chamchuairt Eorpach cheana féin, i Vín na hOstaire, i mBologna san Iodáil, sa Bhruiséil agus i Leuven na Beilge - le cúnamh ó Chultúr Éireann. Murar leor sin, thug an taispeántas bogshodar beag in Éirinn chomh maith - ag stopadh i mBaile Bhlainséir agus i nGaillimh sular thug aghaidh ar an ardchathair - turas a rinneadh le cúnamh ón gComhairle Ealaíon. An té an bhíonn siúlach, bíonn sé (nó sí) siúlach, pictiúrach! 

Ba iad na maisitheoirí leabhar a ghlac páirt ná: Lily Bernard, Adrienne Geoghegan, Anita Jeram, Donough O’Malley, Alan Clarke, Olivia Golden, Chris Judge, Niamh Sharkey, Michael Emberley, Chris Haughton, P.J.
