Children's books about AFO's

Hello all,
I am new to this site and first time knowing SCOPE even excited today. I live in Ireland.
My daughter age 2 got diagnosed with CP October 2017 and we are getting fitted for her AFO`s next week. I have been trying to source age-appropriate books for her in relation to her AFO`s. I am sure you all know what I mean...children's books she can relate to, books about teddy/little girls needing AFO`s. I have tried a few avenues here and there is nothing appropriate for a 2 year old (2 1/2 lets say). The librarians looked for me, I asked my physio, got on the Central Remedial Centre ( a national centre here for physcial disabilities), phoned two children's hospital and can't get talking to anyone there, googled books but nothing.
Can anyone help or know where I can buy these books or even if there is children's explanatory leaftets anywhere?
Thank you in advance

You might find some of our published storybooks interesting, particularly Celine's New Splints. Haylee's friends also has a brief explanation of splints, but focuses on multiple aids and equipment.
I have moved this over to our parents and carers group to see if some of the other members have some suggestions. I hope this helps!
