To aid adults in understanding more background about Grandfather's Story Cloth, author Linda Gerdner has put together a set of discussion questions (and their answers) that address many of the difficult issues presented in the book. Prefacing the questions, she writes,

"While children will enjoy reading Grandfather's Story Cloth on their own, we also suggest sharing the experience with the guidance of an adult who can answer questions and initiate discussion. To assist adults in the interactive learning process with the child, here is a list of questions with corresponding answers focused on enhancing understanding of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of Grandfather and Alzheimer's disease. These in-depth answers give adults a broader base of knowledge about the book, and they in turn can discuss the ideas at the child's level of understanding."
