About the Book

Strolling Adventure is a Christian children's book by Gloria Taylor Crone, inspired by nature walks with her grandson in Yorktown, Virginia. Through song and rhyme, little ones discover colors, numbers, and the wonder of God's creation — from the sun over the York River to squirrels, songbirds, honeybees, and friends along the way.

Set in historic Yorktown, the book celebrates everyday strolls through a caring community where neighbors share warm smiles on the local paths. Read more about the book →
