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 in school.
But when a swarm of baby spiders finds its way into the classroom,
Roberta will save the day with her knowledge and creativity, showing
everybody that tiny creatures aren't so scary after all. They just need
friends who rescue and understand them!
Established Roaring Brook Press author Curtis Manley has teamed up with
up-and-coming illustrator Lucy Ruth Cummins, creator of Truman and
Stumpkin, to present this quirky and adorable picture book.
