Léonard de Vinci: La biographie

Given the wide-ranging talents and achievements of Leonardo da Vinci, I wonder what guided the choices in highlighting certain stories or themes for a young audience.

The inclusion of poetry made me think about how Leonardo's artistic and scientific sides intertwined. I’m curious if others found it helped bring his personality to life.

This hybrid approach is pretty innovative for a children's book about a historical figure. I wonder what the author hoped to achieve with this mix of genres.
