Marcel Marlier was born in Herseaux, a district of Mouscron. He studied at the Saint-Luc School in Tournai, where he later became a teacher. After winning an illustration competition, he began his career as an illustrator of children's books.
In 1954, he and Gilbert Delahaye launched the "Tiny" children's book series, published by Casterman. The first book was titled "Tiny on the Farm," and more than fifty years later, the sixtieth book was published.
Marlier died in 2011 at the age of 80 from cancer.
On September 29, 2015, the museum "Centre Marcel-Marlier, dessine-moi Martine" opened here.
