Martine is the title character in a series of books for children originally written in French by the Belgians Marcel Marlier and Gilbert Delahaye and published by Casterman.
The series ended in 2011 when the illustrator Marcel Marlier died at the age of 80.
For examples, Martine was named "Emma" for English-speaking audiences in Europe for video games and "Debbie" for the U.S.
[4] A 3D animated series directed by Claude Allix and produced by Les Armateurs, recounting the adventures of Martine and her friends, was launched on August 27, 2012 on M6, and in Quebec from September 15, 2012 on Télé-Québec.
For example, the French-speaking Martine changed to "Tiny" in Dutch.
