All children love to look up to older people, and this book is a perfect example. Luke's older cousin shows him the ropes when it comes to dealing with asthma. This book can show how to befriend someone and lend a helping hand. Helping is a big thing when dealing with children so I would definitely use this book in my own classroom.
