The Wemmicks were small wooden people. Each of the wooden people was carved by a woodworker named Eli.
The Wemmicks spent their days sticking gold stars or gray dots on each other.
Punchinello didn't stop to think. He just stood there, heartsick, as each gray dot was placed.
But when he learned the Maker had made him for a reason, he left the stickers behind.
The stickers only stick if you let them.
The more you trust my love, the less you care about their stickers.
You are special because I made you.
It doesn't matter what they think. All that matters is what I think, and I think you're pretty special.
If you don't know who you truly are, you'll never know who you really want to be.
The Maker knows what each of us was made for.
You were made by the Maker for a reason. You are special.
Your value doesn't come from what others think of you, but from being loved by the Maker.
