"My favorite genre, generally speaking, is books about lesbians in space, and ON A SUNBEAM fits that description perfectly. It is a beautiful graphic novel by Tillie Walden, originally published as a web comic. Our protagonist is Mia, a young woman who, after finishing school, joins the crew of a spaceship in hopes of finding her lost first love. Walden's signature saturated colors and sweeping landscapes combine with romance and space opera tropes to create a moving portrait of a chosen family." - Chloe
— From The Gay Book of the Week!“Tillie Walden is the future of comics, and On a Sunbeam is her best work yet. It’s a ‘space’ story unlike any you’ve ever read, with a rich, lived-in universe of complex characters.” —Brian K. Vaughan, Saga and Paper Girls

“[A] pageturning and profoundly moving read.” —Horn Book
“Tillie Walden is the future of comics, and On a Sunbeam is her best work yet. It’s a ‘space' story unlike any you’ve ever read, with a rich, lived-in universe of complex characters.” –Brian K. Vaughan, Saga series and Paper Girls
“On a Sunbeam is a rare treat. It’s both a slow-burn romance and a found-family space opera adventure with an engaging cast of characters. But it’s the world building that really stands out, with a blend of SF and fantasy in a gloriously strange setting that is so brilliantly original I have no idea how to describe it. I enjoyed every bit of it.” —Martha Wells, author of The Murderbot Diaries and The Books of the Raksura
“Enthralling, beautiful, and compelling. I couldn't put this down.” —Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice
“On A Sunbeam strikes a magical balance between trippy and tangible, heartbreaking and hilarious. It was so easy to curl up in the art and lose myself in the story.” —Becky Chambers, author of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
