There’s David vs. Goliath in schools

Friend,

For decades, Scholastic has been a giant that dominated the school book fair market.

Now, Scholastic has decided to push ideological messaging about gender confusion, explicit sexual content, and politically divisive themes instead of simply fostering a love of reading.

That's where SkyTree Book Fairs comes in.

We're the David to Scholastic's Goliath — a challenger with a simple mission: provide kids with wholesome, age-appropriate books that are free from confusing content or radical political agendas.

However, standing up to a giant isn't easy…

As the President and CEO of SkyTree Book Fairs, I am on a mission to reach 150,000 students this year with our SkyTree Book Fair experience. To do that, I need to raise $50,000 this month.

Every time a parent, teacher, or librarian chooses SkyTree instead of Scholastic, it's a stone hurled at Goliath's forehead. Donate now to help SkyTree take on the giant!

Just like in the biblical story, victory doesn't come from size but from standing on principle.

SkyTree's guiding philosophy is that every child — regardless of circumstance or socioeconomic status — deserves access to quality literature that lets kids be kids. We carefully screen every title in our collection to ensure they contain no sexually explicit content or storylines that promote gender confusion.

Giving parents a principled alternative to Scholastic is the best way to put wholesome books into the hands of children and defeat the giant.
