    • 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.

    “Small tributes to great painters (Piet Mondrian) and touches of humor to certify that “squared” universe of exquisite tastes, portrayed with acrylic paint and digital retouching, in an album that raises the need to open horizons in order to grow as individuals.” —Canal Lector

    “A thoughtful, insightful character study that gently urges young readers to choose joy.” —Kirkus Reviews
