| book description |

Madam Hortensia followed her routine to a tee, until one day everything went wrong… what a disaster! A wonderful story, full of humor, about the importance of tackling new challenges. Do you dare to change?Madam Hortensia lives life in a straight line, never straying a step out of her daily routine.  Was she finicky? Not quite, she just liked everything to be perfectly to her liking. Her alarm clock rang every day at 07:18 sharp. Not one minute before, or one minute after. Then her planned routine would begin in extreme detail, and nothing could possibly go wrong. But one morning, her alarm does not go off on time and her life spins into a whirlwind. Suddenly, she finds herself doing entirely new things she has never tried before. With wit and charm, this delightful tale shares what happens when we learn to embrace change and open our minds to possibility. Doña Hortensia seguía su rutina al pie de la letra hasta que un día todo se torció… ¡menudo desastre! Un cuento maravilloso, lleno de humor, sobre la importancia de abordar nuevos retos. ¿Te atreves a cambiar?Para Doña Hortensia cada día era igual y lo vivía sin salirse ni un milímetro de su rutina habitual. ¿Era perfeccionista? No exactamente; simplemente le gustaban que todo estuviera perfectamente a su gusto. Cada mañana se levantaba a las 07:18 en punto; ni un minuto antes, ni un minuto después. Entonces empezaba su rutina planificada en extremo detalle, y nada podía fallar. Hasta que, una mañana, la alarma del despertador no sonó a la misma hora y… ¡Todo lo que ocurrió después fue como un torbellino que le despeinó las ideas! De repente, se encontró disfrutando de situaciones nuevas que antes ni siquiera hubiese podido imaginar. Una divertida historia que nos muestra, con ingenio y sentido del humor, lo que ocurre cuando nos atrevemos a abandonar nuestra zona de confort y abrimos la mente a nuevas posibilidades.
