magination is an open door we stumble through to discover the limitless possibilities of an unfettered mind.  Shoetree Publishers is a small, independent book publishing company committed to celebrating the magic of creative thinking.  Our books, handpuppet greeting cards and other unique gifts invite you to boldly step out of the stuffiness of our sometimes “far too serious lives” and cross the threshold into world of imagination.  Rediscover the joy of reading a well written book to someone you love; let the inspirational message of one of our handpuppet greeting cards soothe your soul . Even better, write your own special script. Show your appreciation for a friend’s “inner- Goddess”  by sending her a note card from sculptor Memphis West’ s “Extraordinary Love” photo art series. 

uying a book, handpuppet greeting card or other gift item from Shoetree Publishers will one day aid in the fight against world hunger and poverty.  Our goal is to donate part of the proceeds from the sell of Shoetree products to the Queen Esther Legacy Fund;  a non-profit organization we established to bring hope and much needed help to impoverished people living in the United States and abroad through its financial support of national and international charitable relief efforts.

ur books and products are not for everyone. Some people don’t like coloring outside the lines, watching Saturday morning cartoons, playing hopscotch, blowing oodles of bubbles or hanging ten on a skateboard.  For those who do---we invite you to come out to play.  You’ll find something you like here.

Live like it matters,

Lainey Rainey
