《帕西爷爷的爱心公园》温情洋溢，家的感觉无处不在，这和作者尼克·巴特沃斯（Nick Butterworth）的生活有很大关系。老尼克有一个幸福的家庭，他和妻子深爱着他们的孩子，一双儿女也把老爸当成朋友对待。老尼克说，帕西爷爷的创作原型是他的外公，这位和蔼的老人经常用独轮车推着乖孙子去花园散步。每当看到帕西，尼克就仿佛又回到了从前，仿佛看到了外公忙忙碌碌的样子。

2.故事经典，画面温馨，每册书含惊喜折页海报；
3.大开本英文绘本，既适合亲子共读或睡前故事，又能给有一定英文基础的孩子自主阅读。

The simple text and expressive illustrations perfectly combine to create a picture storybook that is ideal for reading aloud to young children. The poster-sized gatefold at the end is an added surprise and is a superb example of Nick Butterworths skills as an illustrator.
