Small Fry

Hana’s Kitchen

Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah.

Is she wearing a skull apron? Oh, then that would be Hana Odson.

Just 10 years old, the young entrepreneur is the founder of Hana’s Kitchen, a line of adorably styled aprons for big and small cooks, as well as some heavy-duty oven mitts and dish towels — all made with her signature skulls, some rock-and-roll rose appliques, and other cute patterns.

All design work is carried out by Odson, but her grandmother’s stepped in to do some of the sewing since business has started to boom.

You know Granny can take the heat.
