Brief description: Antonella was born in Cordoba, Argentina, in 1992. She has been a graphic designer since 2014 and is a self-taught illustrator.

Review Quotes: Betty the Yeti is back in four new titles that continue to blend humor, heart, and everyday experiences with a fantastical twist. After moving from her snowy mountain home to a city apartment, Betty and her family--noticeably the only Yetis in town--navigate typical childhood events. In these latest installments, Betty faces her first babysitter, visits the dentist, enjoys a snow day, and tries to find her classroom's missing hamster. Despite her mythical ­nature, Betty's experiences are highly relatable for young readers. Each book features four short chapters with simple text, making them accessible for newly independent readers. Back matter includes a glossary and discussion and writing questions to promote reading comprehension. The bright, expressive illustrations effectively convey emotion and humor, adding depth to the stories. VERDICT A fun and imaginative early chapter book series that helps kids process common experiences--an excellent addition to early reader collections.-- "School Library Journal"
