Wright developed wildlife-based watercolours and children's book ideas in the early phase of his career. In 1989, he published the self-written and illustrated picture book for children titled "When the World Sleeps" (Hutchinson). This was runner-up in the Mother Goose Award competition, 1989-1990. He followed this up by two more highly successful illustration projects - "Crumbs!" (Hutchinson, 1990) and The Tanglewood Troll (Gollancz, 1993).

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
