Welcome to the Revolutions Are Made of Love Launch Celebration!

"Authors Sun Yung Shin and Mélina Mangal present the lives and ideas of James and Grace in an inspiring collection of paired poems with bold mixed-media artwork by debut picture book illustrator Leslie Barlow." -- Lerner Publishing

Join us for a special evening to celebrate the launch of Revolutions Are Made of Love, a powerful new children’s book that honors the activism and legacies of James and Grace Lee Boggs!

This event is more than a book launch — it’s a celebration of art, history, and the people who help shape the world we want to live in. It is a culmination of Leslie Barlow's year worth of research, paintings, and dreams of becoming a children's book illustrator. We’re honored to host this gathering in Leslie's studio at the University of Minnesota, 879 29th Ave SE. The night will feature a reading from the authors Sun Yung Shin and Mélina Mangal and an exhibition of Leslie’s original illustrations on paper. Books signings available upon request!
