Hana revisits her wildly popular and comforting affirmations, stretching them out into tender coming-of-age stories and pointed social reflections. With her brash wit and honesty on display, this is the book that Frizz Kid / Hana Shafi fans (and new fans) have been waiting for.

Hana Shafi writes important, intelligent, and honest essays that encourage understanding, essential thinking, create dialogue, and are a channel for tenderness. In fact, Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty might just change the world! Reading this book not only makes us feel more hopeful, it might just make us smarter, too.

If a summer feel-good movie was a collectionof sweet affirmations, this would be it. Touching, honest, and everything I wish I had read growing up as an awkward kid. If you’ve ever wanted to experience the women's ritual of being affirmed in a public restroom, this is your book.

Pattern Art Print

My pattern series is the newest series I’ve been working on. It started as a way to do a therapeutic freehand drawing during the mind-numbingly boring pandemic isolation that so many of us have been dealing with. The process has been so delightful, and it’s a way for me to channel some of my other interests into art—like witchcraft, herbs, and my love of making tea blends. The patterns all use witchy-related imagery—vines, moon phases, potion bottles, and more.
