In this deeply moving segment, we shine a light on Love Smiles, a powerful nonprofit that brings moments of comfort and joy to children battling pediatric cancer—one book at a time. Founded by Jenna Kmiec after her own daughter was diagnosed with cancer as an infant, Love Smiles was born from the desire to give families a small but meaningful gift during their hardest days: the chance to cuddle, laugh, and escape into a story together.

Author Sarah Sparks partners with Love Smiles to help put uplifting books like Monsters on Mill Street into the hands of young cancer warriors across the country. Because while we can't cure cancer with a story, we can offer moments of joy, imagination, and normalcy when they’re needed most.

Learn how you can support this mission—and why giving a child the chance to just be a kid matters more than ever.
