I'm Speeding Because I Have to Poop contains FACTUAL stories, poems and pictures about the fun and entertaining Derksen Family. The Derksen family are not shy about sharing embarrassing moments in life; many of which most families would not discuss amongst each other, let alone strangers. Using humour as the cornerstone, the book pulls you into the unique life of the author, Shawna Peterson and provides a glimpse into the family, as well as her friendships and life-long relationships. This "non-chronological" book keeps you guessing as to when events took place and the readers interest piqued about what could possibly be next.
