ALT1 ... that the children's picture book Planting a Rainbow has been praised for both its "deft use of colors" and the educational identification of seeds, bulbs, sprouts and blossoms? I don't have access to the source to confirm it, but this might be a possible alt. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 15:59, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ done. We're in backlog mode now, but this nomination predates that so the single QPQ is good.
ALT1 verifies and is reasonably interesting, but leaving out "the children's picture book" would be an improvement, I think, as it makes it shorter and leaves a little to the reader's imagination.
