Making Friends
In Making Friends, only child Eve enjoys playing with her peers, but after moving to a new school it’s been difficult to find friends to play with in her area. When a friend from choir arranges a “play date,” Eve is excited and anxious. Will her friend come on time? What will her friend think of her? This video is excerpted from BBC’s The World According to Kids, a series in which children between the ages of six and 11 across the United Kingdom share what they think of the world.
