Jonathan Todd reads excerpts from his graphic novel “Timid,” which is based on the story of his own life (mostly) and is featured at this year's National Book Festival. Hear about this author’s life as a kid who didn’t fit in and struggled to find his voice, using his talent for drawing as a way to try to figure out where he belonged.
