Bess Stovall is famous for being famous. -When it comes to Wemmicks, she's the best, - they say. Who wouldn't want to join her Wonderful Wemmicks Club? The catch is this: only Wemmicks made of maple can join-the best wood from the best forest.
But Punchinello can't join since he is made of willow. -Willow is weak wood, - says Bess. -No one wants to be a willow.- And Punchinello is the only willow in Wemmicksville. Everyone looks down on him, even his friend Lucia.
Punchinello learns a valuable lesson when Eli the woodcarver helps him see that he is special because the Maker made him-the Maker even chose his wood. This latest tale from Wemmicksville will surprise you as Punchinello himself shocks the town with how special he really is.
