About Strolling Adventure

During strolling excursions with her young grandson, author Gloria Taylor Crone became keenly aware of the Creator's complex handiwork, providing inspiration for a song — and eventually this beloved children's book. May you delight in your little one's sense of wonder at God's magnificent creation through music and the journey of learning basic colors and numbers.

Inspired by the sights and sounds while strolling in Yorktown, Virginia, Strolling Adventure (also known as GiGi's Strolling Adventure) follows a grandmother and grandson on a joyful walk through nature — from the sun rising over the York River to squirrels, songbirds, honeybees, butterflies, flowers, and friendly neighbors along the way.

What children discover

  • Basic colors and numbers through song and rhyme
  • Nature on a neighborhood stroll — sun, trees, clouds, and wildlife
  • Friendship and community along the path
  • Wonder at God's creation in everyday moments

Thank you Lord for squirrels and trees,
Butterflies, flowers and honeybees,
Pinecones, clouds and birds that sing
And the many blessings our friends bring.
