520    "The funny, exuberant, inspiring antidote to body shame-a 
       full-color graphic memoir celebrating the imperfections of
       the author's female body in all its glory. Too tall. Too 
       short. Too fat. Too thin. The message is everywhere-we 
       need to pluck, wax, shrink, and hide ourselves, to not 
       take up space, emotionally or literally; women are never 
       "just right." Well, Ariella Elovic, feminist and 
       illustrator extraordinaire, has had enough. In her full-
       color graphic memoir Cheeky, 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. How 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? 
       How does a mirror go from a "black hole of critique" to a 
       "who's that girl" moment? Essential to her journey is her 
       posse of girlfriends, her "yentas." Together, they 
       discover that sharing "imperfections" and some of the 
       gross and "unsightly" things our bodies produce can be a 
       source of endless laughs and deep bonding. It helps to 
       have a team with some outside perspectives to keep our 
       inner bullies in check. Charming and hilarious, full of 
       empathy and candor, and gorgeously illustrated, Cheeky 
       aims to inspire women everywhere to embrace their bodies, 
       flaws and all, and also their respective bodies' needs, 
       desires, and inherent power"--|cProvided by publisher.
