Mama's bad mood this afternoon has put Anna in a bad mood too. Now Anna doesn't want anything to do with Mama. Daddy has to cut her meat, take her upstairs, tuck her in, and read her a bedtime story. But Anna doesn't feel right about the way she and Mama have been today. She can't go to sleep until they make up.

This touching picture book, accentuated by expressive illustrations, takes a sympathetic look at a familiar adult-and-child impasse and will strike a special chord with young children and their parents.
