It's the 150th episode of 'Eddie's Launchpads'. And its a very special show that is being launched on the anniversary of the death of a young boy called Ruairi. We'll talk to his mum in this show about her book.

Eddie and Captain Dave first meet with the man who helped them set up the Dogsthorpe Infant School podcast, Al Kingsley MBE. Al talks about his trip to Buckingham Palace, Hampton Academies Trust's latest primary school in Great Haddon and his latest book, 'The Awkward Questions in Education.'

Then we meet Breege Hoyne, the mother of Ruairi and Charlie. When Ruairi died, Charlie drew a rocket and said it was his baby brother's rocket to heaven. Breege then wrote a children's story and, with the help of a gifted illustrator, produced the book, 'Ruairi's Rocket To Heaven'.

The proceeds of sales for this book go to a local hospice so Ruairi and Charlie are still helping children living with a terminal illness.
