Gretchen Burman on Character U

Founder of Character U Gretchen Burman joined Lisa Marie Latino in the #HipNJ studio to discuss teaching elementary aged children the power of positive self-talk.

Burman’s book, The Adventures of Ooga and Zeeta, uses stories to bring twelve character concepts that she created called, The 12 Cs, to life.

There are two relatable characters, positive Green Glory and negative Red Rant that help children understand the power of their thoughts and how they can change from negative to positive.

“I would love for this to be a TV show someday,” Burman says. “That would be my dream.” To learn more, click here.
