  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;Max was interested in helping children understand their value-not from the world's perspective, but from God's. Wemmicksville is a land created by Eli, the &quot;God&quot; figure of the story. He creates each Wemmick in Wemmicksville uniquely, each with its own look and personality. Each story and video is a new adventure with the citizens of Wemmicksville. Punchinello is the central character, along with his friends Lucia, Splint, and Chip. When Punchinello strays from Eli, he begins to have problems. Only when Punchinello stays close to Eli does he clearly see how to walk through his life in Wemmicksville.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In this heartwarming tale, Eli helps Punchinello understand how special he is-no matter what other Wemmicks may think. Children will learn a vital lesson-regardless of how the world sees them, God loves each of them just as they are.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an awesome children's book.  It gives another viewpoint of God as our Father and Creator, and helps younger children understand the magnitude of that and how what other's may think of them does not matter, but what God thinks is what matters!!!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Lucado makes the natural human tendencies of selfishness and materialism look absurd in this book, and gets to the heart of what matters most. This book is good for kids, but perfect for adults who have lost sight of what is most important in life.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Beautiful book with beautiful pictures and an even more beautiful story.  Eli loves all of his children because they are different.  To know that I was made with care and loved, and that my maker does not make mistakes is such a message of hope.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The topic is a seemingly simple one, about how each and every one of us is important and special.  Still, not a book to be passed up.  Great for teaching young ones about God's love and their uniqueness but also poignant for adults.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An excellent source of literature that discusses giving positive and negative comments to others and the effects the comments have on our self esteem. Inferencing and perspective taking are key in this author's theme.  ]]></body>
