Yellow Kite announces ‘stunning’ second All on the Board book

Yellow Kite has announced a second book of daily life guidance from the Transport for London duo behind social media platform All on the Board.

Lauren Whelan, associate publisher at Yellow Kite and Hodder & Stoughton, acquired world rights to All on the Board: Your Daily Companion from Millie Hoskins at United Agents and Jo Edwards at TSBA, on behalf of Transport for London. It will be published on 10th November 2022.

The book aims to support readers through their daily life, providing “guidance for every mood, thought, feeling and worry”, and is packed with everyday positivity and motivation. 

It follows the success of Ian Redpath and Jeremy Chopra’s first book, All on the Board: Inspirational Quotes from the TFL Underground Duo (Yellow Kite, 2020) which has sold 100,000 copies across e-book and hardback, according to the publisher. 

All on the Board are two TfL employees who have made it their mission to bring smiles to the faces of London commuters through writing creative messages, quotes and poems on the service information boards. 

They said: “This book is for everyone who would like a companion throughout their day, no matter how good or bad that day might be. It’s more than just a book.

“It’s also a friend that will give the reader a virtual hug, words of positivity, comfort, empathy and inspiration, no matter what time of day it is. Just like no two days are the same, no two readings of it will be the same. It’s been an epic, magical journey putting it together and we hope you like it—but we’re pretty certain you will love it.”

Whelan added: “Working with Ian and Jeremy is one of the greatest pleasures of my job. They navigate the world we live in with good intentions and the utmost care. Their words improve so many people’s outlooks for the better. Your Daily Companion is going to be even more stunning and creative than their first book and I can’t wait for readers to read it and enjoy it."
