Gail Carson Levine is the author of the best seller, _Ella Enchanted_. Ivy is a writer, translator, co-founder of TransWords.net. A lively 30-minute combination of fun activities and language exploration, storytime will enhance your young child's word skills and vocabulary. 11:30am–12pm & 12:30–1pm Music Performance __Especially for ages 6_–_12 __Superhero Clubhouse presents two performances. _The FairWeathers_ is a comedic trunk show about a curmudgeonly clown who just can't make peace with the changing environment. Like a cartoon, the show is a series of short episodes in which Mr. or Mrs. FairWeather, just trying to go about their lives, are confronted with the environmental consequences of their behavior, to great comedic effect. _Mr. FairWeather Gets Thirsty_ is inspired by our interconnected waste and water system. Distrusting of the tap and frustrated by recycling bins, Mr. FairWeather's bottled water deliveries result in a mountain of trash and plastic in his fish. In _Mr. FairWeather's Garden, _our clown's attempt to avoid the grocery store and grow his own food turns into hilarious chaos as extreme weather reeks havoc. 10am–1pm ArchForKids Art Making _Art making is appropriate for families of all ages and abilities. Children with special needs are encouraged to come make art with us. _ It is the year 2038, twenty years in the future — what does NYC look like? Create a wildly imaginative futuristic city collaboratively with other families. Work together to design and create solutions to challenges, such as climate change and affordable housing, that we must work together to change. By the end of the day, what will our new future look like?  10am–1pm On View Each month, artists from Superhero Clubhouse will create an installation to transform our space based on our monthly theme. Look for surprises on every corner — they pop up for one day only! 10am–1pm Mobile Garden _All ages _Learn about plants from a High Line Gardener! Each month we will have a new, hands-on activity based on our theme. Families will also be able to observe and touch our worms! All children must be attended by a caregiver at all times. This program is held rain or shine.
