The Friends view takes a small step back from the child's Home space, opening up to include her circle of friends.  Essentially, this view represents a spatially viewable and editable buddy list. From here she can add or remove friends and move individuals around, perhaps forming them into logical groups—the four friends on the right half of the screen, for instance, might be her "drawing group."
