The turning point comes when he meets a girl Wemmick called Lucia, who has neither stars nor dots, and he begins a journey of finding his true value and significance. The central character of the story is one sad little Wemmick, called Punchinello, who only ever gets grey dots, and never gold stars. They either stick a gold star to show that another Wemmick is doing well (in their opinion), or a grey dot to show that, in their eyes, the poor Wemmick is not doing well at all. The book tells of a town of small wooden people, called Wemmicks, who are forever going around placing stickers on each other. But I have to confess that I have a copy of my own, because its simple story so touched my own heart, when I first read it at Ellel Grange. Some might describe it as a children’s book. I have a book in my bookcase called, ‘You Are Special’, written by Max Lucado.
