P McHugh

P. McHugh is a children's author who believes that even the biggest emotions can be tamed with a little bit of magic. Based in the UK, he writes stories that help young readers understand their feelings while whisking them away on enchanting adventures.

The Emotions and Potions™ series was born from a deeply personal place. Following a difficult life transition, he began writing these stories to help his own three-year-old daughter navigate her big feelings. What started as a way to teach her grounding and self-regulation grew into a collection of tales designed to help every child find their inner calm.

Using gentle humor and whimsical characters—like Betty the Witch and Barnaby the Pooka—he makes mindfulness accessible for little ones. He is also the author of the upcoming Celtic fantasy adventure, The Wardens of Misty Hollow.

P. McHugh writes for the little hero inside every child, hoping to give them the tools he wished for his own daughter: courage, resilience, and a little bit of magic.
