CHICAGO (WLS) -- He's a 9-year-old boy on a mission to make other kids smile. Rocco Debergh delivered thousands of coloring books and crayons to Comer Children's Hospital on Friday.

Rocco spent five years in and out of the hospital battling leukemia. He says his favorite thing to do while getting treatments was to color.
