Max Lucado’s Wemmicks series by Max Lucado is a set of six children’s picture books published between 1997 and 2006. The stories take place in a village of small wooden people called Wemmicks, all carved by a kind woodworker named Eli. The first book, You Are Special, introduces Punchinello, a Wemmick who gets stuck with gray dot stickers from other villagers who consider him unremarkable.

The series explores themes of self-worth, peer pressure, generosity, and finding your purpose. Each installment puts Punchinello in a new situation where he must decide whether to measure himself by the opinions of his fellow Wemmicks or by the love of his maker. Titles like If Only I Had a Green Nose deal with fitting in, while Punchinello and the Most Marvelous Gift focuses on giving. The books have become popular in Christian households and Sunday school classrooms, with You Are Special alone selling millions of copies worldwide.
