Pallavi Kakoti McHugh is an extraordinary woman who has triumphed over racism, trauma, hardships, and fortune changes to attain racial harmony, happiness, peace, and success in various countries. She is a human rights and environmental pioneer and is recognized for her courageous whistleblowing work to protect the public interest.
During Christmas of 2019, Pallavi's husband gifted her the first book of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and challenged her to create a more captivating story within two weeks. She accepted the challenge under the condition that the main character and storyline would represent the race of every child and youth from all around the world, firmly believing that diversity and inclusion are crucial in literature. As a child, she longed to see characters who resembled her in her favorite books and felt that not enough progress had been made in this area.
Drawing inspiration from her own experiences of venturing to an island (New Zealand) for studies, her magical stories are primarily products of her imagination. Although unsure of whether her initial foray into fiction, fantasy, and children's literature could rival J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, she thoroughly enjoyed crafting the book and hopes that her readers will derive similar enjoyment from it.
