My Name is Celia by Monica Brown

This book starts out with "Sugar!" and then goes on to talk about someone or something in the first person. That part confused me a lot. I'm not sure if sugar is being described or if Celia the main character is. But if thats the case, why would they put "sugar" in bold letters at the beginning of the paragraph. The illustrations are very interesting and bold. On some pages they take up all of both pages, but on some, they fill one page, and the one next to it is white with words. I wonder if there is a reason it differs for each page? Another thing that I cannot figure out the reasoning to is that the book doesn't start to tell us about Celia until the third page. So who is being described in the first 2 pages? The illustrations also are not proportional at all and make little sense. But they do enough to support the words. There was an overarching point that music can make people feel at home and feel comfortable which I really liked. It also addressed race in a subtle and tasteful way. Over all I really enjoyed this book.
