You Are Special is a heart-warming children's tale from best-selling author Max Lucado.

Every day the small wooden people called Wemmicks do the same thing: stick either gold stars or grey dots on one another. The most talented and pretty Wemmicks always get the stars, and those who can do little or who have chipped paint, receive ugly grey dots, just like Punchinello.

But Eli the woodcarver helps Punchinello understand just how special he is, no matter what all the other Wemmicks may think.

In You Are Special, Max Lucado conveys a vital message for children everywhere: that they are special in God's eyes.
