Double Your Impact for Children Facing Cancer 💜

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, their brothers and sisters often struggle silently with fear, sadness, and uncertainty. They need comfort, hope, and a safe way to express their feelings.

💜 Jamie’s Journey: Cancer from the Voice of a Sibling was created to do just that. Part story, part journal, it offers siblings a safe space to heal during one of the hardest times a family can face.

📖 Each book is just $12.99 — and for every book you donate, Story Monsters LLC will contribute an additional copy. That means your generosity will always be doubled.

Together, we can place these books in pediatric hospitals, giving comfort and hope to the children who need it most.
