Writing Workshop - Anton Clifford-Motopi

Service Description

Join one of Brisbane's best children's authors, Anton Clifford-Motopi as he delves into his tools and tips on writing, helping children create likeable characters whilst also learning how to balance humour in their stories. This fantastic workshop, designed for kids 10+, will bring the joy and laughter into writing and ensure kids will be able to create a character suitable for any narrative. Each participant will receive a copy of Anton's brilliant debut novel, To and Fro. About the Author: Anton enjoys writing stories that make children laugh. His stories explore themes of self-identity, family relationships and friendship, drawing from his experiences of being black with light skin, growing up in a large adoptive family and raising four children. About the book, To and Fro: Sam thinks he’s a weird-looking white kid with an afro. He lives with his white mum (annoying but not smelly) and brown dog Trevor (smelly but not annoying). He’s never met his father. He just knows that his father is black. But a surprise visit has Sam questioning who he really is. Is he a white kid with a black dad? Or a black kid with white skin? Or half-black and half-white? Not only does Sam want to know these answers, he has to know them to finish his annoying homework and perform in the school concert. But how can he make his outside match his insides if he doesn’t know who he is? A delightfully funny story about family and identity, and what it means to be truly Sam.
