Max was interested in helping children understand their value - not from the world's perspective, but from God's. Wemmicksville is a land created by Eli, the "God" figure of the story. He creates each Wemmick in Wemmicksville uniquely, each with its own look and personality. Each story and video is a new adventure with the citizens of Wemmicksville. Punchinnelo is the central character, along with his friends, Lucia, Splint, and Chip. When Punchinnelo strays from Eli, he begins to have problems. Only when Punchinnelo stays close to Eli does he clearly see how to walk through his life in Wemmicksville.
Punchinello's opinion of himself changes after talking to his creator.

August 30, 2009: I am 56 years old and this is, without a doubt, one of my favorite books. I truly believe that every person should own a copy of this book, not just children. It is a simplistic message, but an extremely important one that, even as adults, we all tend to forget from time to time. I've given every child in my life a copy of this book and, as often as I purchase another one for my household, I always manage to give it to someone else. It's a feel good book for any age.
