Description
What happens when a new kid moves into your neighbourhood--a new kid who looks different from all your other friends?
Fernanda is excited when Emily moves into her downtown Portuguese neighbourhood. With her blond hair and blue eyes, Emily is the "real" Canadian friend Fernanda has always dreamed of--or is she? The school variety show gives both girls a chance to discover what it really means to be a friend.
What's A Friend? examines the pressures young people experience growing up in a big, multicultural city.
