Caught In Time HIGHLY recommends this children's version by author John Steptoe:

The Story of Jumping Mouse

It is beautifully illustrated and beautifully told -- expressing the importance of following your dream in spite of fear and condemnation. But, it also expresses the importance of making personal sacrifices in order to help others -- even if it make following your dream more difficult. Basically about having hope, faith and compassion.

To read alone, this book would be good for middle-schoolers. However, it's never too early to read important stories to your children! Written for children but great for any age!
