Our Mission
Soaring imaginations, rooted in Truth.
SkyTree exists to be a light in a dark world by producing and curating family-friendly and values driven books.
We focus on books that promote creativity, character and connection and events that leave kids inspired.
This is a place where parents feel empowered with the right books, schools are hosting better book events and kids are falling in love with books that grow both their curiosity and foundation in Truth.
SkyTree was founded by Riley Lee, mom of two and author of the Get Messy series. A former teacher and ultrarunner, she’s passionate about helping children grow rooted in Truth and alive with imagination—and discover the joy of creating, exploring, and being a kid.
We believe that the books kids read don’t just entertain them, they form their worldview.
Our Six Pursuits
We are driven by helping kids grow in:
Creativity – imagining, building, and making
Curiosity – asking questions and exploring the world
Critical Thinking – reasoning, discerning, and understanding
Connection – building strong families and relationships around shared reading
Character – developing integrity and virtue
Conviction – knowing what is True and standing firm in it
These aren’t just values. We use these pursuits to evaluate every book, program, and experience we create.

We Connect
We are dedicated to actually getting books in kids hands. We partner with schools and community groups to inspire kids through high-energy author visits and book distributions.
Groups can host SkyTree where every student will experience a real author visit, interactive activities and through donor support, every child will leave with a book!
Fuel our mission
We aren’t just distributing books, we’re helping shape the next generation.
Your support allows us to keep our parent resources free, publish more high-quality books and host book events with schools that connect kids to wholesome, values-driven books.
