Clare's father dies in a car accident that leaves Clare very scared. She has the support of her mother and her grandfather. Her mother reminds Clare of their old hamster, Sam, and what happened when he died. Clare doesn't believe that that could happen to her father. Clare's mother carefully explains what has happened to Clare's father's body, and that it had been taken to a funeral home and dressed in his best suit. Clare worries that she caused her father's death because she yelled at him. Clare's anger is expressed when she begins to break the dollhouse her father had made for her. Clare is afraid of going in a car to the funeral, which her mother acknowledges and sympathises with. Clare is allowed to express her grief and can share in her memories of her father.
