Punchinello laughed. “Me, special? Why? I can’t walk fast. I can’t jump. My paint is peeling. Why do I matter to you?”
Eli looked at Punchinello, put his hands on those small wooden shoulders, and spoke very slowly. “Because you’re mine. That’s why you matter to me.” 

“You Are Special” is a children’s book by Max Lucado, about a little Wemmick who is learning to trust that his worth comes from his creator instead of others opinions about him. this book has always held a special place in my heart, long before i found my love for Quasimodo. even now, i continue to work on trusting that God loves me and treasures me, despite how i might feel about myself. all of you are just as special to Him, so don’t let others’ words convince you otherwise. especially if those words are your own.

“How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered. I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand. And when I wake up, You are still with me!” (Psalm 139:17-18)
