In an exclusive interview with Celebrity Baby Scoop, Nancy spoke about the interactive app and her new book, Here’s to Fabulous You, daughter Ashby, who's into sports and asserting her independence, and her thoughts on having another baby.

CBS: What inspired you to create the app, Little Ashby: Star Reporter?

NO: I always say one of the main reasons I am in the career I am, as a reporter, is that I am constantly meeting new people, going to different places and learning so much every day in the process when covering a story. So I thought how fun it would be for little kids to get to travel the world, too, learning all about places and people.

Obviously, they can’t do that in reality by themselves, but they can via an animated app. So that’s the inspiration for Little Ashby: Star Reporter. It's a fun storybook with educational facts thrown in along the way as Ashby and her FUNtastic crew go on their assignments. It also teaches compassion and values. Apps are so much fun and intriguing to kids, and I see my daughter learning so much while using them. When I asked her what I should name the little reporter, she said, "Why, of course, Ashby!" She doesn’t voice Little Ashby as she is too young for that, but it is named in her honor.

CBS: Tell us about Little Ashby’s first assignment.

NO: Well, I thought what would feel like the biggest assignment a little kid reporter could ever get … to interview Santa Claus, of course! So the first story is called "Santa’s Big Premiere." Little Ashby gets her assignment to go to the North Pole on Christmas Eve to interview Santa before he leaves and come back with the story of what the Holiday Spirit is all about. Along the way, she learns facts such as where the North Pole is, why it is dark in the winter there, what the Northern Lights are, what Arctic animals are there.

There are games at the end to reinforce what is learned. The app is super-interactive as kids love to tap things to make them work, and of course, Little Ashby comes back with a great report. For the next storybook, her assignment may be to go to the moon and learn everything about man’s first landing there.
