Bess Stovall is the most admired Wemmick in town—beautiful, confident, and carved from the finest maple wood. Everyone wants to join her exclusive Wonderful Wemmicks Club. But there’s a catch: only maple Wemmicks are allowed. Punchinello, made of humble willow, feels rejected and ashamed. That is, until Eli the woodcarver reminds him that he was crafted with care and purpose. Best of All is a touching tale about identity, self-worth, and the truth that you are special—just the way you were made.
