Aaron Reynolds

Nerdy Birdy

Children’s book author Reynolds reads from his newest, the story of a bird whose love of reading, video games, and reading about video games keeps him out of the cool bird crowd—until he meets a flock just like him and discovers there are far more nerdy birdies than cool birdies in the sky.
