Description
A deeply personal and emotional graphic memoir about self-esteem and body image issues. Marie-Noëlle Hébert's story follows her journey from childhood to her twenties as she struggles with feeling like she doesn't fit societal beauty standards. As she navigates her teenage years, Marie-Noëlle becomes increasingly obsessed with changing her body through a fitness regime, but this obsession takes a toll on her mental health. Fortunately, she finds therapy and begins to realize that she doesn't need others' approval to feel whole. This powerful graphic memoir is drawn entirely in graphite pencil and offers a visually stunning portrayal of a deeply personal journey. Through Marie-Noëlle's story, we are encouraged to be ourselves without apology, and to challenge the societal beauty standards that can have such a profound impact on our lives.
