I Am One and A Little Closer to Home: How I Found the Calm After the Storm, which debuted in January 2022. Ginger is the author of Natural Disaster: I Cover Them. She has written a STEM trilogy called Chasing Helicity for middle grades, which follows a storm chasing a young woman named Helicity across the U.S. Having storm-chased since college, Ginger has a genuine love for the atmosphere and a dedication to getting young people interested in science. She not only shares her passion for meteorology, but more importantly, she presents the compassion and human side of these storms. She has covered blizzards in Boston and record-breaking heat in Death Valley. Ginger has covered almost every major weather event and dozens of historic storms during the past 15 years-from Hurricane Katrina to Hurricane Sandy and Michael from the Australian wildfires to the climate’s impact on Victoria Falls, Africa and the aftermath of tornadoes all over the United States, most notably those in Moore and El Reno, Oklahoma. She also hosts an ABC News original digital series, Food Forecast, focused on climate and its impact on agriculture. You can see her covering the nation’s weather headlines on Good Morning America and across all ABC News broadcasts and digital platforms. Ginger is the chief meteorologist and managing editor of the climate unit at ABC News. The second speaker in our 2022 Grandfather Presents series is Ginger Zee.
