In the town of Wemmickville there lives a Wemmick named Punchinello. Each day the residents award stickers―gold stars for the talented, smart, and attractive Wemmicks, and gray dots for those who make mistakes or are just plain ordinary. Punchinello, covered in gray dots, begins to feel worthless. Then one day he visits Eli the woodcarver, his creator, and he learns that his worth comes from a different source. 

 

Max Lucado’s beautiful story reminds us that we are special to God just the way we are. Parents and children alike will enjoy this touching portrayal of an eternal truth. This bestseller has sold millions of copies and is now available as a special paperback gift edition and includes captivating illustrations by Sergio Martinez.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Max Lucado is a pastor, speaker, and bestselling author who, in his own words, “writes books for people who don’t read books.” He serves the people of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, and his message is for the hurting, the guilty, the lonely, and the discouraged: God loves you; let him.

    Max is known for combining poetic storytelling and homespun humor with the heart of a pastor. All of his trade books began as sermon series at Oak Hills Church, and his sermons all begin with Max asking himself this question: “What can I say on Sunday that will still matter on Monday?” He’s been dubbed “America’s Pastor” by Christianity Today, and “The Best Preacher in America” by Reader’s Digest.

    Max’s books have sold more than 96 million copies in 56 languages worldwide with more than 145 million total products in print branded with his name and words. Max’s books regularly appear on bestseller lists, including The New York Times. His writing has also been featured in Bible studies, Bible commentaries, songs, greeting cards, and even plush toys.

    Max and his wife Denalyn live in San Antonio, Texas and celebrated forty years of marriage in 2021. They have three grown daughters, three sons-in-law, and two grandchildren.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024
Verified Purchase
This is the review for the small board book, but I also bought the regular hardback full book. This is a wonderful uplifting story for any age.

I ordered two of these board books because I love the regular children's book by the same title, and so did my many classes of second graders. This is a story about acceptance, self worth, and God's love, although the woodcarver represents God and His love for us; God is not mentioned. The book remains very "politically correct" for those who are concerned about such, and is appropriate and helpful for any child.

This is a sturdy board book version, but unlike most board books, this one has a good bit of text for its size. Therefore it is suitable for reading to children well past the toddler stage. For babies and young toddlers the pages can be briefly paraphrased if desired, and the illustrations are lovely. Highly recommend any version of "You Are Special."

A friend introduced me to this book years ago as a means to share the gospel with the students in her second grade class. Since then, I have read the book to my own second grade students as well as gifted this book to friends/family members who are expecting a new baby to their families. This book is truly a treasure.

I originally purchased this book for my baby girl 13 years ago. It is so moving and touching that now every time someone I know is going to have a baby, I order this book. I hope it is as sentimental to them as it is to us. It does an amazing job explaining God's love for us in a way a child can understand. I am sure I will be purchasing more in the future for friends or family that are expecting. I recommend this book 100%!!!!!
