From time to time in my classroom, I thoroughly enjoyed sharing with the children books written by the author, Max Lucado. The books are lengthy in words and are geared towards an older set of children, but the illustrations are beautiful and the stories have excellent morals.
You Are Special and You Are Mine are both stories about our loveable hero, Punchinello. He is a Wemmick, that is a wooden creature created and carved by the hands of Eli. In both stories Punchinello has to realize that his identity is based solely in whose he is. Both books serve as allegories mirroring the importance of realizing that it doesn't matter what we have or what others think of us, but that we belong to God and His opinion is the one that matters the most.
