If Only I Had a Green Nose

From the back cover: A green nose. How silly, thought Punchinello. It wouldn't make him faster, or stronger, or even smarter. It would only make him greener -- and make him look just like all the other Wemmicks! Why would he want that when he knows Eli made each of the different for a reason? But when Punchinello stops visiting Eli regularly, a painted nose somehow doesn't seem as foolish anymore. Now more than ever, Punchinello needs to hear his maker say "I'll always help you be who I made you to be."

A little wooden toy learns to value his uniqueness in this lovely picture book. This book is the sequel to Lucado's popular "You Are Special."
