GRANVILLE, Iowa --- On Sunday, 4-year-old Averie Carrion walked a quarter mile through the snow to get help for her family.

On Thursday night, she and her mother, Jamie Carrion, and 1-year-old brother, Abel, were getting ready to fly more than a thousand miles for an appearance on the Today Show in New York City.

The family, who reside in Granville, made headlines after Averie walked a quarter mile through the snow and cold to a farmstead after she, her mother and brother were involved in a rollover accident Sunday night east of Alton, Iowa.

Jamie Carrion made a frantic 911 from inside the wrecked truck, desperately telling the Sioux County dispatcher she couldn't find her daughter in the dark vehicle.

The girl was discovered, soaking wet but not seriously hurt, by a family at a local farmhouse. Her grandmother, Nancy Schwebach, said Averie told them "her brother was crying and she thought her mother was dead."

Jamie Carrion said her phone has been ringing nonstop since word of Averie's exploits hit the press. Even Averie's been a little overwhelmed, she said.

"I've had phone calls and phone calls and phone calls," Carrion said Thursday afternoon.
