God Loves Ugly Coloring Book

I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own

When my daughters were two and four years of age, I took them to a pet store in Glendale, Az. to "just look at the animals." The one that caught our attention was a huge fish, alone in a tank, with a note to not to put our hands in the tank because the fish would bite. The fish had huge teeth that looked human to us. On the way home, my youngest daughter asked why the fish was so ugly. I explained to her that everything is created by the same source, from nature, to animals, to humans, all are connected. She repeated that the "fish was ugly". I told her that it wasn't ugly to God, because God doesn't see ugly, he sees us from the inside. I concluded the conversation with "God Loves Ugly Too!" Within moments, this tune came into my mind, and lyrics flowed from my mouth. "God loves ugly, cause He made it too!"  A few years later, a wonderful artist in our church agreed to illustrate the song for me. Vikki Pena captured my thoughts in her design. The coloring book was published and released. In addition, I wrote a song, "God Loves Ugly", that has been popular with children's choirs throughout the country. Fabio Bruzzesse designed the eye-catching cover. 

   The book can be purchased on Amazon, search for Kenny Thames, God Loves Ugly. The art work is a masterpiece. The recording of the song is available on Sound Cloud.
