Emma J. Virjan

Hola! I am the author-illustrator of Nacho the Party Puppy and of the award-winning Pig in a Wig early reader series – What This Story Needs is a Pig in a Wig, What This Story Needs is a Hush and a Shush, What This Story Needs is a Munch and a Crunch, What This Story Needs is a Bang and a Clang, and What This Story Needs is a Vroom and a Zoom. My newest books include Captain Cat and the Pirate Lunch and Captain Cat Goes to Mars. Recently, I illustrated my first picture book, If This Bird Had Pockets – A Poem in Your Pocket Day Celebration, poetry by Amy Ludwig VanDerwater. I live in Austin, Texas and can often be seen walking my Golden Retriever, Bella, working in the yard and hanging out at taco trucks. My favorite taco is potato, egg and cheese on a corn tortilla. I love to travel and hope to make it back to Rome because the first time I visited, the Sistine Chapel was closed. For more information about me, please visit www.emmavirjan.com.
