I can relate to this story very well. I have an older sister and I would do everything she did. I wanted to be just like her and now that I have children I see them doing the same thing.

In the class I would read this story when we talk about family and siblings. I would have the children draw pictures of their families and we would have a discussion about brothers and sisters.
