Frederick Thomas Children’s Book App
Frederic Thomas Children’s Books creates imaginative stories that inspire curiosity, kindness, and adventure — especially through The Adventures of Freddy & Ellie series. To bring these stories to life beyond the page, they partnered with Noble to create a mobile app that gives young readers an interactive way to explore characters, themes, and activities inspired by the books.
The result is a playful, kid‑friendly digital companion that extends the reading experience with games, learning tools, and creative engagement.
Solving the Business Problem
Children’s book authors often face a challenge: how to deepen engagement with young readers in a way that feels meaningful, safe, and aligned with the spirit of the books. Frederic Thomas wanted to:
- Bring the world of Freddy & Ellie to life through interactive content
- Offer activities that reinforce themes from the stories
- Create a safe, ad‑free digital space for kids
- Strengthen the connection between readers, characters, and parents
- Provide a modern companion to a growing book series
We worked with their team to design a mobile experience that feels warm, intuitive, and age‑appropriate. Kids can explore characters, enjoy interactive elements, and engage with activities that complement the stories — all within a simple, parent‑approved interface.
Collaboration
Our collaboration with Frederic Thomas Children’s Books was rooted in creativity and child‑centered design. We worked closely with the author and creative team to understand the heart of the stories, the personalities of Freddy and Ellie, and the emotional tone that makes the books resonate with families.
Together, we:
- Designed interactive features that extend the narrative world
- Created a visual style that matches the books’ illustrations
- Built simple, joyful user flows tailored to young readers
- Ensured the app aligned with privacy and safety best practices
As the book series expanded, we continued to support the app with updates, new content, and technical enhancements.
Project Importance
Stories shape how children see the world — and the right digital companion can make those stories even more engaging and memorable. The app we built with Frederic Thomas Children’s Books helps young readers connect more deeply with Freddy and Ellie, encourages creativity, and gives families a fun way to explore the themes of the books together.
This project reflects Noble’s commitment to building technology that supports learning, imagination, and joyful experiences for kids and families.
