Agam Singh Brar, 7, plays with Kermit the Frog alongside his cousins behind his grandfather at their home in Twinsburg, Ohio. Agam's father moved to the United States several years ago seeking better opportunities, raising his children in a space where two worlds meet: American life outside the home and Sikh values within it.
