My Clever Night-Night Shoes is a bedtime story for children who sleep with a brace to help keep their feet straight. The book encourages Ponseti kids to wear their specially designed 'night-night' shoes because the results are so worth it.
Written by a mom with first-hand experience of a strong-willed child who sometimes had to be convinced to wear his brace. This light-hearted, inspiring and comforting story describes the exciting jobs that different shoes have, and that wearing the brace enables them to do anything they want to do.
Dedicated to every parent who has faced the battle of clubfoot for their child and helped them to win, even when the going was tough. You rock! KMM & LAB
