Suzanne Tate, author of the best-selling Children’s Nature Series, has just reached a new milestone with Tommy Tuna: Tale of A Big Fish, illustrated by James Melvin, the 40th title in her long-running series.
To celebrate, Downtown Books in Manteo will be hosting Suzanne for a special First Friday book signing on Friday, May 3 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Suzanne will be signing Tommy Tuna along with any and all of the other books in the series, from the original Crabby & Nabby to last year’s Merri-lee Monarch.
Generations of children have grown up reading Suzanne’s books and learning about a multitude of seashore creatures and ocean dwellers through them.

First Friday is a fun, free, family friendly event held every month in Downtown Manteo featuring live music, art show openings, book signings, trunk shows, wine tastings and more.
