"This book somehow managed to speak truly and profoundly to my day-to-day experiences while also involving spaceships shaped like giant koi fish, ancient fox-spirits at the edge of the galaxy, and the sentence 'No, I am not going to be defeated by these goddamn flying blueberries!' Sometimes life's just like that. On A Sunbeam is a love story, a family story, and a story about figuring out what the heck you want to do with your life, in SPACE, told through art like a vivid, soft-pillow dream. Tillie Walden is a rock star."
