Two siblings wake up, one in a sweet mood, the other sour. Everything the sweet sister suggests is met by an opposite reaction from the other. Nothing will cheer up the sour sister, even the prospect of making a sweet cake together. But when the cheerful sister embraces her sisters mood and allows her to feel her feelings, it gives her a safe space to express herself. 

A darling story! I loved the illustrations, especially when the younger sister would say, "you do it" the emotions in the illustrations were right there too. Oh my, what a sweet book!
