This artwork is from the personal collection of Dianne Borsini-Burr.
Imperial Mirror was created for the 1998 book The Emperor’s New Clothes: An All-Star Retelling of the Classic Fairy Tale.
This wasn’t just any illustrated book. It was an extraordinary collaboration that brought together 23 of the most celebrated illustrators of our time—Caldecott winners, New Yorker cover artists, Pulitzer Prize-winning talents. Each one was paired with a celebrity author including Madonna, Robin Williams, Jay Leno, Fran Drescher, Jeff Goldblum, and Steven Spielberg, to create a playful, multi-voiced retelling of the Andersen tale. All royalties benefited the Starbright Foundation, supporting seriously ill children.
Kinuko’s inclusion in this lineup was a career-defining honor. Her contribution, Imperial Mirror, captures all the elegance, whimsy, and luminous detail that have made her one of the world’s most beloved illustrators.
