Guest: Riley Lee, President & Founder Skytree Book Fairs

Introduction, Riley’s background-she worked previously with actor Kirk Cameron

How difficult it is for parents navigating the world of children’s books…what’s Christian, wholesome & family friendly.

Riley explains how she never thought she would get into the publishing world.

How I attended a Drag Queen Storytime library board meeting. How I pointed out how they were a tool of the American Library Association. How I pointed out to them how the drag queen’s outfit was the indoctrination.

How her 3-year old daughter attended with her a Scholastic Bookfair. How Riley discovered LBGBQi & DEI books are being sold at those fairs. Subtle, but indoctrination none the less.

The difference between what the Left defines as book banning, but is simply parental efforts to make sure their children are not exposed to books that are not age appropriate. Even the movie industry has age-appropriate ratings systems.

How does Skytree Book Fairs find their books since they are not a book publisher?

How their review board reviews books. Riley introduces their mascot, a golden retriever, named Scout and what Scout stands for.

What children are looking for in books, excitement, adventure, humor & fun, not social justice agenda.

How their bookfairs work, usually runs 3-5 days. How they partner with nonprofits, schools, churches and ministries splits a percentage of sales.

Skytree sends boxes of books and whatever does not sell is returned. But, host of the bookfair

does not incur any upfront costs. But, they get to share a percentage of the sales for hosting.

Underewriter mention.

No upfront costs for the host, but they do screen the applicants and what Skytree as a nonprofit can handle.

Riley does then explain how their program works. How much monetarily does the school or church have to sell as a minimum to get a share of the profit?

How does a church or school contact them. Website: https://skytreebookfairs.org/Skytreebookfairs.org, email: [email protected].
