With 'Creative Force,' A Huge Children's Book Museum Is Taking Shape In North Kansas City

Inside the Rabbit Hole, a national museum celebrating children's literature set to open in North Kansas City in March 2020, visitors will encounter something unexpected.

Past the two-story front door, limestone steps will lead down into the burrow of a magical creature named Fox Rabbit.

"What we want to create is an environment where it is a suspension of disbelief, a magical space, and a beautiful space," says Debbie Pettid, who started the non-profit organization with her husband, Pete Cowdin. "And one that is really accessible."
