Try reading this book, its how I gained all my knowledge of rowing and how I made all my massive gains.

I really liked the idea of a sense of place being important. Somewhere you belong. Somewhere you can be happy.
I have read quite a bit of nature writing recently and there is a trend of the writer concentrating their efforts on a very small area of land rather than writing something with a title like Trees and Woodland in the British Landscape. (still a brilliant book)
In these new books the writers spend considerable time, years even getting to know their local environment intimately and writing about their experiences. There is a real sense that they belong in that area and are happy there.
Of course this is not a new thing. Thoreau probably started it off with Walden. Some modern books I can really recommend are Claxton: Field Notes from a Small Planet by Mark Crocker, Common Ground by Rob Cowen, Deep country, five years in the welsh hills by Neil Ansell (a modern day Walden IMHO) and particularly and especially Nature Cure by Richard Mabey who covers his own breakdown, mental health and depression and how walking and the local countryside helped him explicitly in his book. All of these are British writers but I am sure there are similar writers elsewhere. One Man's Wilderness by Dick Proenneke springs to mind. You can see his films on youtube.
My family have lived in the same village in very rural Somerset for hundreds if not thousands of years if some of the explanations of my odd Latin surname is correct. I have not lived there myself for about 12 years now (moving 7 miles away when I got married was a big step) but I still know every last detail about my home. Drop me within five miles and I can find my way around, not just on the roads but on footpaths and across fields and through hedges. My father can tell me a farmer cut down a certain prominent tree and I know exactly which one he means. I do miss my home.
I now live in an area that has been immortalised in a nature study to that level of detail. I live not far from the real location of Watership Down Richard Adams spent his days walking the countryside around his home and if you know what you are looking for in the pages of the book and the countryside you can pinpoint individual trees that the rabbits pass that still stand in the fields today. Some of the events in the book took place about half a mile from our house.
That gives me an idea. Perhaps I will use the book as a guide to my new home as I continue to explore the area.
Where did all that writing come from? ;)
Book: Pigs Might Fly by Jonathan Emmett and Steve Cox

Did you ever see If You Give A Pig a Pancake?
Old Pig by Margaret Wild. I loved (i.e. cried a lot about) this book as a kid.
[Used to love this book as a kid] (http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Scarrys-Will-Wont-Knee-High/dp/0679866531)
Here's a few we've picked up for our daughter (these also count among her favorites):
Brave Irene by William Steig
Imogene's Antlers by David Small
I like me! by Nancy Carlson
Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes
Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold
Madeline by Ludwig Bemelman
Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola
You appear to be correct
Oh, hey. I remember reading this book in school.
You are asking us to violate copyright by translating this, but I don't personally have any problems with that. It's still a bit long for me, though.
Edit: Can you buy the Spanish edition? It's not very expensive and worth about what I would expect a translation of the English would be worth.
Could it be this one?
Me First (Sandpiper Paperbacks) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0395720222/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_pK33BbTW3PT9P
Best of luck if it is not!
Piggies?

Both for 4-6 year olds:
The Story of Frog Belly Rat Bone by Timothy Basil Ering
Mercy Watson to the Rescue by Kate DiCamillo
Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore?
If not, any idea about the year? Or illustration style?
Books, or clothing 12 months plus. Lots of people will be buying the newborn stuff, often so much you can't actually use it all before it's out grown.
I tend to pick books for people I don't know that well.
Here are some that aren't crappy:
By not crappy I mean that they aren't mind numbing for adults to read aloud. Some kids books, especially re-tellings of fairy tales are so badly written you want to gouge your eyes out.
Might be Chester the Worldly Pig: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0395272718/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/
After every 20 pages or so take a break and read a children's book like Inch by Inch or The Amazing Bone. Makes it much more fun, especially when the imagery and narratives blend together in memory.
Also, do this stoned. Wicked stoned.
The second one seems to be Piggins.
The book with no pictures has a great page of nonsense words to read really fast. ( https://www.amazon.com/Book-No-Pictures-B-Novak/dp/0803741715/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=book+with+no+pictures&qid=1574704377&sr=8-1 )
Also This Little Piggy by Tim Harrington https://www.amazon.com/This-Little-Piggy-Tim-Harrington/dp/0062218085/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=this+little+piggy&qid=1574704395&sr=8-9 Really funny for Preschool Read Alouds because of that wall of text to read really fast!
Great, now I can't get this out of my head. This is what I get for reading bedtime stories to my kids and then getting on Reddit ...
