Children love stickers—gold stars for the “good,” gray dots for the flawed. But what truly matters is what the woodcarver, Eli, sees: someone precious, just as they are. In You Are Special, Punchinello, a little wooden figure covered in dots, learns that he’s valuable—not because of appearance or achievements, but simply because he was made to be loved. With Sergio Martínez’s heartfelt illustrations and Max Lucado’s tender storytelling, this board book is a treasured promise of worth for every child’s heart.
