This is what Shriner's Children Hospital in Chicago had to say about our visit with Self-Esteem Elephant who met the families and painted with the children:
Joni,
It was such a pleasure having you visit the kids here at Shriner's Hospitals for Children – Chicago. Our kids loved the painting activity and interacting with all of you. I especially loved the theme of "Self-Esteem" and loving ourselves.
The kids really enjoyed the time they had with your group and meeting the self-esteem elephant. You have such big hearts for being such a small organization. Characters of Character strives to build our younger generations character and encourage them to be positive kids.
Thank you for showing our kids how having a good attitudes can mean so much with benefits that are endless. When you are going through tough times, it's important to be positive and have a good attitude. It sets a nice tone to help others as well. Thank you for sharing your time with us and spreading good vibes with us.

We truly loved having you here.!

You can sponsor a painting class in your community! Children listen to a social story, discuss the character trait and then bring the character to life on canvas that they paint! Contact Joni here.
