Once upon a time, high up in the snowy mountains, in a cozy cabin with her grandmother, lived a little girl whom everyone called Pickhead. Because she was never without her miner's pick, and because, well, she was pigheaded. Not the nicest way to say it, but once she's made up her mind to do something, there's no stopping her. A little determination and a lot of gumption take the indefatigable Pickhead across the continent and all the way to the Bayou to see her tap-dancing sister perform. That's the plan, at least, unless some poachers have something to say about it...

About the author
BRREMAUD
Frédéric Brémaud—also known under the pseudonyms of Brrémaud, Labrémure, and Lili Mésange—was born on March 11, 1973 in Seoul, South Korea. He spent his childhood in the north of the French department Deux-Sèvres and on the island of Noirmoutier. After studying in La Rochelle and Newcastle, he worked at the Centre national de la bande dessinée et de l'image, in Angoulême, where he met many authors. A few years later, in 1999, he published his first album: volume 1 of "Coeur de royaume" (Soleil), illustrated by Benoît Vieillard.
A prolific author, he never stopped writing! Today he has more than a hundred titles, of all genres and for all audiences, with Soleil, Glénat, Paquet, and Bamboo. In 2018, Frédéric Brémaud was nominated in the Early Readers category of the Eisner Awards. In 2021, he published volume 5 of "Love" (Vents d'Ouest), illustrated by Federico Bertolucci, which won the Jury Prize at the Lucca Comics Festival. The same year, he joined Giovanni Rigano again to create "Les Terreurs des mers" (Vents d'Ouest) and "Lettres des animaux à ceux qui les prennent pour des bêtes" (Glénat). In 2022, Giovanni Rigano and Frédéric Brémaud started working with Dargaud and published the first volume of the series "Tête de pioche" ("Pickhead" in English, Europe Comics).
