Her book The Ageless Story, about Mary and the birth and childhood of Jesus, was named a Caldecott Medal Honor book in 1940.

From LIFE Magazine, July 4, 1938: 'Simple and imaginative, Ford paintings often have a religious theme, frequently include children. They are appreciated not only by wealthy urban collectors but by the farmers who are Lauren Ford's neighbors near Bethlehem, Conn. There, except for an occasional trip abroad, this artist-farmer lives the year round, surrounded by her family, cats, a dog and a large number of cows. Five days a week she spends seven hours a day doing the kind of work that has evoked from metropolitan critics such adjectives as "picturesque," “tender, "fanciful" and "humorous." Much of it has for its background the nearby Connecticut countryside. "I guess Connecticut is in my blood," says Lauren Ford… ‘

A captivating glimpse into 19th-century Paris! This etching beautifully portrays the vibrancy of urban life against the chill of winter. How does this work reflect the resilience of city dwellers in harsh conditions?
