The Genesse Schmitz Neighborhood Council is very happy to have Schmitz Park next door to our district. Saving the green space we have is very important for our communities.

I read this poem/story to my children so many times that it is stuck firmly (and forever) in part of my brain. I didn’t need the sidebar to tell me that this verse was based on Margaret Wise Brown’s. The connection between the memories of our youth and the future suits the topic: preservation and restoration of a gift too easily discarded and irretrievable.
