5.0

Not all graphic novels are aimed directly at children.  "On a Sunbeam" by Tillie Walden is a meditative, beautiful, and complex science fiction story about the found family queer crew of a fish-shaped space ship repairing ancient architecture.  It's drawn in a spare, evocative style, using just three colors and spans 500 pages. I can't even encompass the plot or the world, but suffice to say it's worth reading, gnawing on, and re-reading. #book ! #PrideSFF
