One morning in Wemmicksville, every wooden citizen wakes up to find a mysterious gift waiting for them. Punchinello receives a hammer, Lucia a paintbrush, and Hans the baker a spoon. But no one knows who sent them—or why. When a family of Wemmicks needs help reaching Eli the woodcarver, Punchinello and his friends try everything they can. Only when they realize the gifts came from Eli do they discover how to use them to make a real difference. Your Special Gift is a heartwarming tale about purpose, service, and the joy of using your talents to help others.
