Written by Julie Ellis Williams

Milo Minus is always negative. After all, he is a math symbol for subtraction—making something less than what it originally was. He is a bully! He has no friends and no intention of changing—until, one day, BAM!  An unexpected event with another minus sign results in them becoming new math symbols, spreading positive feelings to Milo and all those around him!

Meet the Author

Julie Ellis Williams is a retired elementary school teacher and school counselor. For forty-one years, she connected with and encouraged teachers and students with her motto, “The way you view it is the way you do it.” The Trouble with Milo Minus is her second published book; her first, Bella Joins the Service, was released in December 2022. Julie loves the outdoors and cherishes her weekly visits to Saint Mary’s Hospital with her therapy dog, Molly. Her favorite times are when she’s with her family: her husband, Ray; son Clayton and his wife Kelsie; grandsons Avi and Arlo; son Kirk and his pup, Maddox; and of course, her own pup, Molly. She lives with Ray and Molly in Ashland, Virginia.
