CAH booklet for children

My daughter is 8 with SWCAH and she’s been having more questions about her condition.  We have informed her at a level she can understand all along.  Does anyone know of a good resource for this age?  Something she can read and understand.  I think she needs more information, but not sure how much to tell her.  Some issues she has:  Wants to know more about surgery she had, wonders why she is a girl since she feels like a boy, plays with boys and loves sports and action figures, and asks all the time why she has to take pills and her sister doesn’t.  I want to be supportive, help her feel "normal", and help her with her self-image.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
