She grapples with personal relationships, family dynamics and community interactions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m over the moon to know that the world I created in the Merci Suarez novels is in the hands of Trustbridge Entertainment and Cisneros Kids, whose team has shown such vision and passion for the project right from the start,&#8221; said Medina. &#8220;The Su\u00e1rezes are a large and loving Latino family who won readers\u2019 hearts. Now, I look forward to seeing the many talented storytellers and actors who\u2019ll help bring them to life on screen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bob Higgins, president of Trustbridge Entertainment, added, &#8220;Meg Medina\u2019s Merci Su\u00e1rez is a beautifully authentic exploration of family and growing up&#8230;it\u2019s funny, heartfelt and real.
