Community Spotlight: Clowns

Making Friends is all about friendship and communities, and we've talked a lot about friendship, so let's get into the communities. For our very first community spotlight episode, we dug into the history of clowns and how clowns come together to help each other and the world as a whole. Clowns are silly, but don't fall into the trap of not taking them seriously - clowns can teach us a lot about how to be better friends and better people in general.
