In the sequel to You Are Special!, Punchinello of Wemmicksville learns that God's children are loved because of who they are, not because of what they possess. This story presents the message to young readers that God's children are loved because He made them, and that they do not need to compete for status in His eyes.

Max Lucado was interested in helping children understand their value - not from the world's perspective, but from God's. Wemmicksville is a land created by Eli, the "God" figure of the story. He creates each Wemmick in Wemmicksville uniquely, each with its own look and personality. Each story is a new adventure with the citizens of Wemmicksville. Punchinello is the central character, along with his friends Lucia, Splint, and Chip. When Punchinello strays from Eli, he begins to have problems. Only when Punchinello stays close to Eli does he clearly see how to walk through his life in Wemmicksville.
