The people of Wemmicksville are governed by the mayor and his wife, who make the inhabitants feel shabby if they have dots and no stars. Lucia is a wooden puppet made by the woodcarver Ely and a friend of Punchinello. She has a problem because the stars and dots don’t stick on her, but she says she doesn’t care what people think of her and that’s why they don’t stick.

This shows everyone, young and old alike, that it is okay to just be you no matter what other people think or say. Always think the best of yourself and be positive. This story has been awarded our Dove “Family-Approval“ Seal.
