Synopsis: Every day the small wooden people called Wemmicks do the
same thing: stick either gold stars or gray dots on one another. The pretty
ones--those with smooth wood and fine paint--always get stars. The talented
ones do, too. Others, though, who can do little or who have chipped paint, get
ugly gray dots. Like Punchinello. In this heartwarming children's tale from the best-selling
pen of author Max Lucado, Eli the woodcarver helps Punchinello understand how
special he is--no matter what other Wemmicks may think. It's a vital message
for children everywhere: that regardless of how the world evaluates them, God
cherishes each of them, just as they are.
(from the online description)
Review: Despite being a bit on the sappy side, this is a good book with a good message. Only God can define our worth, no matter what the world tells us. Although sold as a children's book, the message is most certainly for all of us. A worthy read.
