The story
What it's about
Oobo is an prehistoric teenager with a secret talent: he's the first painter in history! Between predatory animals, a rough dad, a stressed out mom and annoying bullies, all he wants is to survive… and also win the heart of Booga. As it turns out, even 35,000 years ago, being a teenager was not an easy task.
