You Are Special by Max Lucado

I really love this book. I remember reading it when I was young and being impacted by the story line. It is about a little puppet who is criticized by the other townspeople and given grey dots to wear to show his shame. If another puppet likes something about you, you get a star, but this puppet only gets dots. One day, he hears from a fellow puppet who doesn't have any dots or stars on her that he can go to the carpenter at the top of the hill to be like her. He goes to see the carpenter that made him and starts to learn that it doesn't matter so much what other people think. He starts to realize this because he begins to realize how much he is loved by and cared for by his maker. 

This story is really touching and made me shed tears. It is written so well and the images of amazing. I love the little puppet punchinello and how he drawn, looking so bright eyed and happy after he goes to see his maker. This is a great story for kids I would definitely read it in my classroom.
