You are Special
By Max Lucado
In Wemmickville 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, but one day he visits Eli, 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.
Just the Way You Are
By Max Lucado
One of the greatest gifts parents can give their children is the assurance that Mom and Dad love them just as they are, apart from anything that they do. But telling them once won’t make it sink in. Kids need to be reminded of it over and over, until those words get inside their hearts.
In the same way, children need to hear again and again that their Heavenly Father loves them and wants to spend time with them—even if they’re not wonderfully talented or extremely smart or exceptionally popular.
That message of God’s unconditional acceptance and deep desire to enjoy a friendship with His children is at the heart of this book.
