Additionally, Renée can be seen playing the role of Nell Jones in NCIS: LOS ANGELES, where she has some great Nell-centric episodes airing this month/in the upcoming months. HUGO AND THE IMPOSSIBLE THING (on sale March 30) is a gorgeous gift book with an inspiring, heart-melting message: That nothing is impossible. This is a picture book that people of all ages can relate to (whether it’s overcoming fears with the help of loved ones, instilling valuable life lessons, etc.) and is also great for graduation season. With gorgeous illustrations, children and parents alike will root for Hugo (readers of Loren Long’s Little Tree and Jessica Hische’s Tomorrow I’ll Be Brave will love it!).   Renée Felice Smith wrote and directed her first feature film, THE RELATIONTRIP, which is now available on Hulu.
