In her full-color graphic memoir \u003ci\u003eCheeky\u003c\/i\u003e, she takes an inspiring and exuberant head-to-toe look at her own body self-consciousness, and body part by body part, finds her way back to herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow does Ariella learn not to see herself as a never-finished DIY project, but to accept and even love the physical attributes society taught her to hide?

It helps to have a team with some outside perspectives to keep our inner bullies in check. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCharming and hilarious, full of empathy and candor, and gorgeously illustrated, \u003ci\u003eCheeky\u003c\/i\u003e aims to inspire all of us to embrace our bodies, flaws and all, as well as our bodies' needs, desires, and inherent power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635574524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.50w x 1.20d","brand":"Ariella Elovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38027611537589,"sku":"9781635574524","price":22.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d5528015-89f1-4994-907c-db678ca01efa.jpg?v=1609193311","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cheeky-a-head-to-toe-memoir-9781635574524","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
