Love & loss: Children using picture-books to learn about bereavement

Date: Wednesday 9th July 2025

Time: 2:00pm to 4:00pm

Venue: Waldegrave Drawing Room

Learn about experiences of creative lesson planning, and explore picture books on the theme of bereavement. 

St Mary’s University and the Centre for Wellbeing in Education will host a free event where Professor Anna Lise Gordon and colleagues will share findings from the ‘Love and Loss’ research project completed in six primary schools in England. The research explores how picture books can help children learn about bereavement.

We’ll be joined by The Alligator’s Mouth Children’s Bookshop.
