Michael Petitpas

A puzzle library for every reader

Michael Petitpas is a Canadian author and independent publisher of more than 190 books on Amazon. The newest chapter is a family of pet books — the seven-book "My Pet and Me" keepsake series for kids, The Whole Family Puppy Training Book, the care planner trio (The Complete Dog Care Planner, The Complete Cat Care Planner, and The Senior Dog Health Journal), Forever My Dog, a memory book and keepsake for the dog who shaped a family, and the "Gentle Goodbyes" picture books that help children ages 4–8 say goodbye to a beloved pet — written from real life with his Duck Tolling Retrievers, Crosby and Ember. The catalog began with, and still includes, 180+ large-print puzzle and activity books: word search, adult coloring, sudoku, mazes, and ABC workbooks that are genuinely enjoyable for kids, families, and seniors alike.

Specialties

• Large-print word search — bigger letters and high-contrast layouts that are easier on the eyes.
• Regional Canadian word search — themed books featuring Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland.
• Adult coloring — mandalas, animals, and meditative patterns for stress relief and mindfulness.
• Kids activity books — tracing, ABC, mazes, and word search workbooks for ages 4–10.
• Sudoku & mazes — classic logic puzzles with a clean, accessible layout.

Beyond books — into apps

In 2025, Michael expanded into iOS app development with Verse Off — Bible Trivia Challenge and VerseRoom, bringing the same care for clear design and engaging content to the App Store.
