On page 37 when they said - "But frogs aren't crickets" It's a metaphor for the human condition: We often ignore the beauty of what is right in front of us (the frogs) because we are too busy looking for what we expected (the crickets). Dex is surrounded by life and wonder, but they are still "hungry" because the world isn't matching the specific script they wrote for it in their head.

When Sister Fern invites Dex to see their new home, there is a quote on the back of the wagon - "find the strength to do both." I think the author is trying to say that he modern people of Panga have rejected the idea that you must choose between: Nature vs. Technology, or Comfort vs. Sustainability. That even though it is hard, both options are possible, it only requires the strength to find balance between the two.
