Bookroo's summary

Annie's life swings between sunny mornings and stormy days, dictated by her mother's unpredictable moods. When smiles turn to anger, Annie must fend for herself, making breakfast and tucking herself in at night. Her grandma offers guidance, and her friends bring laughter, helping Annie cope. Despite the challenges, Annie holds onto the belief that her mother's love remains constant, even when hidden beneath anger. How will Annie find balance in this emotional whirlwind?

From the publisher

Some mornings, Annie’s mother’s smiles are as bright as sunshine as she makes pancakes for breakfast and helps Annie get ready for school.

But other days, her mother doesn’t smile at all and gets very angry. Those days Annie has to be a big girl and make her own breakfast, and even put herself to bed at night. But Annie’s grandma helps her remember what to do when her mommy isn’t well, and her silly friends are there to cheer her up. And no matter what, Annie knows that even when Mommy is angry on the outside, on the inside she never stops loving her.
