Brooke Stanton and Christiane West are passionate about science and humankind. They founded Contend Projects to make scientific facts about human development simple and accessible for everyone.


The First 56 Days of You is the second book in their children's science series about humankind. The first book, When You Became You, was published in 2020. Brooke is the mother of four budding young scientists. Together with Christiane, also the mother of four junior truth-seekers, they believe it is never too early to introduce young children to important scientific realities, especially when it comes to our own species.
