These wooden people, also known as Wemmicks, love to show off their skills. To judge these skills, they all use a system of stickers - stars for the successes and dots for mistakes. There's only one Wemmick in Wemmickville who has no stars at all and his name is Punchinello. He wants a star so badly that he'll do anything.Punchinello goes on a journey with a special friend, and in the end, he learns that loving oneself is the key to happiness.The library has a variety of activities for the young and old.
