Snowflake Bentley is a story about a man named Willie Bentley who has always wanted to know what snowflakes look like. The only way to do this though was with a special camera. However he could not afford it, but his parents use their savings to buy the camera. After many attempts and fails he finally gets the picture of the snowflake he has been looking for. But where he lives they get 120 inches of snow annually so many people don't care and say that they don't need to see pictures of snowflakes. Eventually, he gets money for these pictures and gets $4,000 for them. However, it cost him 15,000 just to get the equipment so it really doesn't help him. Sadly, one day he is walking for six miles in a snowstorm and gets sick and dies of pneumonia two weeks later. I would use this story to teach children to follow your passion no matter what might get in your way.
