The Rescuer of Tiny Creatures / Curtis Manley (Author), Lucy Ruth Cummins (Illustrator)
Roaring Brook
2021
Covered in earthworm slime and assisted only by her cat and her little brother, Roberta rescues tiny creatures. You know, the ones stranded in the middle of the sidewalk, upside-down, flopping, or near-frozen.
A lot of the time, that earns her funny looks from kids at school.
But one day there's an invasion of tiny creatures in her classroom, and Roberta will need to use her knowledge and creativity to show everybody that tiny creatures aren't so scary after all. They just need friends who rescue and understand them - From Amazon

Okay. if all creepy crawlies were this cute I'd be really into saving them too. I love Roberta's heart for the small and helpless (and later her vision for helping the big and helpless as well!) The Origami project in the back is a nice touch (so you too can rescue spiders!) as well as the notes on the critters.
