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?
