Emma J. Virján

illustrator

Emma J. Virján, represented by Victoria Wells Arms, was born under an Aries moon, on a Wednesday, her dad’s bowling night, which explains her passion for shiny, hardwood floors and extra crunchy snack bar French fries. She loves to draw, sing out loud and take walks with her dog, Bella, who is often allowed to sleep on the couch.

Emma is the author-illustrator of the beloved Pig in a Wig Book 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. Emma is also the illustrator for the Captain Cat series, as well as a picture book of poems by Amy Ludwig VanDerwater.

Emma makes her home in Austin, Texas, where she spends her days writing and drawing.
