Short, sweet first contact story. Vibrant and intriguing. I can't say too much without spoiling it, but it was well worth the read. Some of the author's observations are also well worth reading and shed light on the choices made in this story.
A great respite from the color-by-numbers first contact tales we often get (and don't get me wrong, I really like those).

Outdated terms for autism spectrum disorder used within. Can get frustrating if you know what the right ones are.

The cover shows this girl that has the ability to speak to aliens. We expect her to be the main character, but the story is told from the parents point of view, we never get to see her doing the really cool stuff, going places, growing up, facing problems, communication with the other aliens. This story has the wrong point of view.
The art is amazing, though.
spoilers ahead
The end was abrupt and underwhelming because we sit with the parents for weeks on the beach while she goes somewhere in the water to do whatever that we never see at all.

Disclaimer: I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway, and it was provided to me via Amazon Publishing. I am reviewing it as a courtesy and as a thank you.
This graphic novel is just so gorgeous. There was so much worldbuilding packed into one slim volume. I'm not a big reader of graphic novels, so I might be lacking in experience but this is really just so good. The art is amazing.
My only complaint is the Young Autistic Child is Conduit for Strange Happenings trope. But it's not entirely an integral part of the plot, so I can let it slide.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun and beautiful adventure to the stars!
