Hi we’re SkyTree, and we aren’t afraid to admit: Librarians *shouldn’t* have to scan every page for explicit content in kids books before their students bring books home.
Cancelled Event Notice:
Our reading this Saturday at the Tennessee State Museum has been cancelled!
While we’re sad to miss gathering with you, stay tuned for an exciting semester of events and programs!
Thank you for standing with us to protect childhood and let kids be kids!
Here’s what Gina from a Houston school said about our whole number pricing: “So easy! The price they see if the price they get. Less kids are turned away”.
Thank you to our generous donors who cover taxes so that a $10 book is exactly $10 at checkout. Our schools love this!
How do you make sure your school fair reflects your family’s values? Start here.
✅ Ask what books are being featured
✅ Request age-appropriate curators (like us!)
✅ Get involved! Your voice shapes what’s offered!
Parents: you're not asking too much.
"I just want books that are safe, meaningful, and my kid actually enjoys."
Stories can be both safe AND engaging! That's why we are here!

Freedom to spend time with families and friends! Freedom to read. Freedom to think critically.
Thank you to the families and friends who make SkyTree possible. Happy Independence Day!
Teachers, you’re on the frontlines. What changes are you seeing with kid’s brains and ChatGPt? Compared to students even five years ago in your classroom…what’s the difference. Especially interested in literacy and writing.
A child raised with good books and a supportive environment for discussing content becomes a teen with discernment.
Literacy isn’t just for school. It’s for life!
Not every book belongs in every backpack.
Some books are “not yet.”
Some books are “not at all” for K–8.
That’s not banning. That’s protecting childhood. And it's exactly why we offer book fairs that curate titles based on age-appropriateness.
@TazBgMama 💯 It's why parents should never have to second-guess what’s coming home in a backpack. Any book can be bought online... but when it comes to what's distributed in schools? That's where responsibility and age-appropriateness comes in!
Parents are told: “Any reading is good reading.”
What’s actually true: Junk books exist. Your kid deserves better.
Parents are told: “Let schools decide.”
Actually true: You are the best curator your child will ever have.
Screen time? In moderation.
This summer, we’re all about __________.
📚 Books at the park
📚 Books in the car
📚 Books at bedtime.
What's your favorite summer activity to get kids off screens and out in the real world?
