Du bist einmalig

Punchinello lived with the other Wemmicks in the town of Wemmick. These were wooden dolls created by a wood carver. The Wemmicks gave each other stars for good behaviour, success or beauty. Grey points were awarded for bad behaviour, clumsiness or ugliness. Punchinello belonged to the group of wooden dolls that always received points. It made him very sad. Depressed, he walked through life. One day he met Lucia, who had neither stars nor dots. Punchinello wanted to know why Lucia was so different.
She sent Punchinello to Eli, the woodcarver who had made all the Wemmicks. Eli said to Punchinello, "You're unique because I love you." When Punchinello began to believe the woodcarver, all his points fell off.
There's a little Punchinello in all of us. We make ourselves dependent on our appearance, our performance and our success.
Punchinello makes the experience that its value is not determined by the other wooden dolls, but by its creator. He learns how important it is not to be influenced by others in this.
This encouraging message is at the heart of 'You are unique', which now appears as a cardboard picture book for the very youngest. Adults will also have great fun with this booklet.
